| 1694.1 | IconLab will do it! | LEDS::ACCIARDI | | Fri Sep 16 1988 17:04 | 8 |
|
Look in LEDS3::USER6:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA]ICONLAB.ARC...
IconLab lets you save any IFF brush as an icon. So, you go off
and create anything you want in any paint program and you can save
it as any type of icon, ie; project, tool, drawer, or disk.

| 1694.2 | icon editor on EXTRAS Disk?? | PCCAD7::BAEDER | D. Scott DTN 237-2961 SHR1-3/E19 | Fri Sep 16 1988 18:18 | 9 |
| I think this might be obvious, but isn't there an icon editor on
the extras disk...I remeber it is very simplistic, but if you don't
have a paint program... (what...you don't have a paint prog ;-)

p.s. I do have DPII, but have only used it 2-3 times...I gues Im
not the artistic (visually) type...

| 1694.5 | ICONS that ACTIVATE TASKS | TAGART::THOMPSON | Doug Thompson, Ayr, Scotland | Mon Sep 19 1988 05:31 | 11 |
| If you take the ICON discussion a little further (I used the ICON
Editor on the Wb disk to be creative over the weekend) you
eventually arrive at the state of installing the new icon and
activating a program from it. What I want to know is HOW DO YOU
TAG AN ICON TO A TASK SUCH THAT A DOUBLE-CLICK ACTIVATES IT?
I created a replacement ICON for one of my Analyse! spreadsheets,
followed the ICONED directives to replace the old icon, succeeded,
BUT double-clicking only succeeds in "blipping" the screen.
Doug.

| 1694.6 | quick explination | WJG::GUINEAU | Just a Window in Time | Mon Sep 19 1988 08:32 | 23 |
| I think I can explain.
There are 2 types of ICONs for doing this: TOOL and PROJECT.
The TOOL ICON will execute the program having the same name as the icon:
Show.icon will execute the Show program in the same directory.
The PROJECT ICON will take it's name and pass that file as data to the
"DEFAULT TOOL" indicated in the INFO requestor.
Analyze.dat.icon (INFO shows this icon has a default tool of
C:Analyze)
This will invoke C:Analyze and pass it Analyze.dat as input data.
Beware that some programs don't execute properly if you just make an icon for
them and double click it.
Also, scripts won't work either. However look into XICON (in many PD
directories here on the net) for much improved ICON capability...

| 1694.7 | .INFO, not .ICON | CIMNET::KYZIVAT | Paul Kyzivat | Mon Sep 19 1988 18:24 | 6 |
| Re .6:
Everything said is on the money, except icons have an extension of
".INFO", not ".ICON".
